The Discovery of Indus

by Dr. Madhusudan Mishra

This book proclaims the author’s view that the in-flexional stage of Indus is the so called Indo-European and the Indus valley is the home of the Indo-Europeans. The agglutinative stage of Indus which preceded it has mostly gone unrecorded, but it is sparsely found in the prose texts of the Vedic literature.

It can be historically reconstructed, as tried in the 3rd Appendix of the Discovery. The isolating stage of Indus, as found in the extant inscriptions, is the earliest form of the Aryan speech. The first Vedic utterance om started here as an Indus dvanda a-va-ma (the earth, the atmosphere and the heaven.)
